From Tone Madison: "Jazz pianist/multi-instrumentalist Wilder Deitz and band deliberately made their Summer Mixtape ephemeral, with no digital release and just a limited run of CDs given out at shows. That's kind of a shame, because it comprises a set of memorable experiments in mix-and-matching ideas from across jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. The core ensemble, including vocalists Deja Mason and Nikeya Bramlett, collaborates here with several MCs connected to Madison's hip-hop community. The most charming would have to be 'Father Bean,' featuring a bouncy verse from young Madison rapper Protege The Pro, but there's a whole range of moods and sounds to be heard here, from the searingly tense 'Song For A Slave Mother' to the Richard Davis tribute 'Learning To Deal.'"
